Mark Pope, the head coach of the No. 4 ranked Kentucky Wildcats, is set to return to his roots this Saturday. The Wildcats will face off against No. 7 Gonzaga in Seattle, a city familiar to Pope, who played high school basketball in nearby Bellevue, Washington.
Kentucky’s recent loss to Clemson marked their first defeat of the season. Despite the setback, Coach Pope expressed satisfaction with his team’s response to adversity, both during and after the game.
